About the Designer

In 1986 Marc Jacobs founded his eponymous label, and within a year became the youngest designer ever awarded the CFDA Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent. He would go on to win nine more CFDA awards, including Menswear Designer of the Year, and put his singular stamp on Louis Vuitton by becoming its artistic director in 1997. In 2001 he introduced Marc by Marc Jacobs, a line that creates unexpected, irreverent designs from vintage inspiration and has become much loved for its eclectic menswear, womenswear, and accessories.
